CINCINNATI -- A Tri-State family is making a push to save the life of a girl from the Philippines.

The Aubrey Rose Foundation is helping to fly 4-year-old Hannah Borres to the Cincinnati for heart surgery.

The girl was born with a heart disorder that severely limits how she can interact with her world.

The Hollenkamp family started the foundation after losing 2-year-old Aubrey Rose to a similar disorder.

"I almost cried just knowing what she's here for, the fact that she's going to have surgery and its going to get repaired and hopefully be all well when she goes back to the Phillippines," said Nancy Frondorf, Aubrey Rose's grandmother.

They’re hoping that doctors in the United States can repair Hannah’s heart.

"When we lost (Aubrey Rose) we knew that it is a matter of either spending our time grieving or helping other children," Frondorf said. "We had just seen so many sick children when Aubrey was in the hospital that we just knew this was our goal."

The family will take care of Hannah while she undergoes surgery and help her family through each step of her recovery.

“She'll be millions of miles from home. We're going to be her family,” Spencer Hollenkamp said.

Hannah surgery is scheduled for Aug. 5 at Children's Hospital, and to learn more about the Aubrey Rose Foundation and the children it helps, click here.
